DAVeMoS

DAVeMoS will host the 17th International Association for Travel Behaviour Research (IATBR) triennial conference in Vienna, on 14-18 July 2024. The call for extended abstract submission is expected to be launched at late Spring 2023.    

Do you ever wonder the impacts of your intense physical activities, e.g. running and cycling, to the rest of your day's activities' participation? And whether the use of ridesharing for simple short trips would increase/decrease the probability of one to participate in more physical-demanding activities in home and work locations? This study explores the role of convenience travel alternative and the intensity of physically active activities to one's subjective health assessment. The paper can be found here.   

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Human Behaviour Data Analyses. The deadline to apply is 21 March 2023 (CET time). Further information can be found in here and here.

We are looking for a German speaking Postgraduate Research Associate in transport simulation and analysis. The deadline to apply is 15 March 2023 (CET time). Further information can be found in here and here.    

DAVeMoS, is co-organising a FSV planning seminar which focuses on the possibilities and limits of traffic forecasting. Further information of the event can be found in here.    

Using data from Italy and Sweden, this study analyses the impacts of the pandemic on the transition to online shopping activities, and identifies who among the respondents changed their shopping behaviour the most and how; and what the different shopping strategies are and who adopted them The paper can be found here.   

We have new team member Igor Woloschtschuk and also our new visiting PhD student Victor Flensburg from DTU - Technical University of Denmark and BahneDanmark. Igor will help us to deploy our new DRT survey in Salzburg, and Victor will work on his research in estimating rail transport demand based on smartcard data and national travel survey.

DAVeMoS team gave 1 podium, 1 poster, and 2 sub-commitee meetings presentations at the 102nd US TRB Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, USA. US TRB is the largest transport conference in the world, and we presented our results on DRT analysis in rural area, hazard perception analysis with VR, and super-apps-use diary collection.

ZeroFlex project focuses on the development, construction and broad demonstration operation of flexible and highly innovative mobility points (ZeroFlex station) as an important basis for the dissemination of zero emission technologies and the associated reduction in greenhouse gases. It is funded by FFG. Further information can be found in here.

This study examines the correlation between mode choice for commuting and multi-regional integrated ticketing. The results suggested that integrated ticketing has an overall positive effect on promoting greater public transport use; in particular, male car commuters compared to females are more likely to switch to PT for commuting. The paper can be found here.   

With beginning of the year, we have another change within our team composition. Anugrah Ilahi will start his academic position at University of Indonesia and Martin Hinteregger have joined SCHIG mbH. For incoming, now we have Claudia Andruetto and Robin Palmberg from KTH and CrossModal AB who will stay with us during this winter/spring semester to collaborate on system level impacts of electric freight transport and upgrading our multimodal VR lab.
